You are back. I forgot my password at memebee. I usually had too many thumbles of barrel wash in me when I posted there.

Et tu koreaboo? I remember Mimsy getting all up in arms when I kept repeatedly dropping Semenjaw on his head there like a sack of burning shit. Seems she wanted me to hold myself to a higher standard than she afforded her surfboard molestering dingus... I didn't even bother with the obligatory fond farewells and simply logged out on the spot.
No sense in hanging about a place like that. Not that I have any real beef with the champagne socialist you understand, I just couldn't be arsed pulling my punches on her pet weirdo and found me more rewarding things to do.
i almost only post in the music thread. i mostly skip the regular threads because posting political talking points isn't my thing. to paraphrase soyeon from (g)i-dle, i'm neither left or right and like to troll them both but you have to give me something to play with other than boring talking points.
trolling american politics was fun until eventually everybody retreated to their respective camps. i'm not going to spend the night researching and posting content only to bee met with boring rhetoric dammit.
as for politics, we need something to happen where everybody reacts instinctively before their brain kicks in and tries to make sense of the chaos. imho that's where the truth lies.
Quote from: Brent on December 07, 2023, 04:06:57 PMIs Mel posting at VF?
Mel is probably at 4chan and unlikely to return to VF or here.

It is difficult to have a civil discussion about North American politics in 2023.

I like the owner of VF. She is very civil, pragmatic,and welcoming. But, that forum doesn't take kindly to new posters.
if i we're talking about evs i totally agree. mimi is a snob though and i don't think i ever recall her being particularly welcoming to anyone.

I don't want to agree to what you posted about the second in command at VF because I will make visits there again. But, I will not disagree with you and I will leave it at that.
i get the feeling that mimi 'mostly' tolerates people like me. i'm a necessary evil so that the people she does like have a place to chat together. god forbid someone like me gets involved in one of those threads.

I tried to back during the 2020 primaries, all I seemed to find were brainfried CNN schills ranting how Trump was responsible for everything from hurricanes to hemorrhoids. Even entreating them to be a bit more careful than what was being shuffled through the door to replace him was met with more Trumps Derangement Syndrome. They really did not think there could be any possibility that things could take such a drastic turn for the worse and... well here we are.
The dizzy limit came when I was talking to a waitress friend of mine who having finished her journalism degree at Ottawa U was waiting tables at one of the bars where I was doing sound reinforcement. Discussing Biden's encroaching dementia, the Tara Reade rape allegations, the warnings female secret service operatives were given regarding Biden's "hands-on" approach to women and not least of all, the hours upon hours of archival TV footage of him sniffing minors and groping them on the tit while making the creepiest comments I can remember coming out of any politician's mouth... all problems she recognized and insisted we needed to forget... because Trump had to be defeated.
I haven't spoken to her since that conversation. Preferring someone as compromised as an unprosecuted sex offender with encroaching dementia to a loudmouth who had nonetheless got the economy going gangbusters and was doing his level best to draw down military involvement in foreign theatres was bad enough, but insisting we give the former a free pass on his shortcomings while the latter had been vilified for years told me what I need to know. I wasn't even attempting to approach it from from a comparison perspective, more of a "this is the last guy you should be running", but she had her boogeyman and to her it was such an existential threat that the dems could have run Satan himself.
Not that I equate Biden with Satan... he's more of a Beelzebozo really.

As I have said before, people post for different reasons. I originally came from Topix. I like lively discussions. There are posters like Joe and Edward that troll for attention. There are posters like mimi who treat this medium like social media.
All valid reasons to post. There should be tolerance for the differences in interests.

the problem with recovery is you need to stay away from the things that made you need it in the first place. which probably means weebs shouldn't bee online.

VF's formula works.... everyone there is happy (even the unhappy ones).... every time theres a "new person", they always attempt to change the water level or adjust the thermostat or just tamper all the moving parts.... evs is perfectly capable of maintaining control of the situation but the locals will always respond negatively regardless.... when it comes to "new folks", they're a suspicious bunch.... but its not unjustified....

Correct me if I am wrong, but the core four or five members have been posting together for close to twenty years going back to a forum called Discover Vancouver that was pronounced dead more than a decade ago.
That same group is highly suspicious of anyone who joins. It didn't make me want to stick around. It didn't make Biggie Smiles want to stick around either.

I am glad you found a posting home you like. And perhaps if I had stuck around they would even get used to my boring fiscal conservatism.
I will say this about VF. Although my presence wasn't really welcome, it is the only other forum I would ever have registered at. That is because the owner of that forum believes in free speech and a marketplace of ideas like I do. The owners of BF and CBT are the exact opposite. They abuse their panels, censor posts, and even doxx posters.

As I said, the core members are an insular group that have together for a long time. And as I also said, had I stuck around, they might have even gotten used to a boring fiscal hawk. But, I don't have the patience for that anymore.

I wish that were the case, every new registration I've made at a new board over the years has been replete with people trying to find out who the fuck I was, mostly assuming I must be someone they've previously had issues with. It's not that people don't care, some are downright
obsessed with manifesting their boogeymen onto a new user.
that sounds a little like frood and me.
Remember that time some of the locals went completely bat shit crazy because someone called mimi an American?

Of course not. I joined VF 13 years ago. I was even a member of DV that VF broke away from for a few months before that.
Skinz wasn't around when VF was a lively board. I'm talking about posters like Gunta, Duce, Salty Dog, Spartacus, YVR Man, Glasgogirl, Asia, Wulf, CJ, Dick Yamada, Doc Watson, KS Ethan, Brutus, Zero Cool, Kaylee 7, Sharlee, Itsy Bitsy, beanthere, Renee, Sonny, Inked Angel, eagle, Ban Pellgrino and Heinzy. They were all good and they are all gone.
Let's face it, the good posters left and they aren't being replaced. The ones that should've fucked off like that deranged offline stalker Eddie and Mimi who uses forums the way old white do FB are still around. Personally, I would've pulled the plug on it. It seems Evs is just doing it to keep Eddie occupied and out of jail and so Mimi can post smilies with her remaining 2-3 forum friends.
VF hasn't had a new regular poster in at least 5 years. When the pin is finally pulled on VF, that will be the most obvious fact in the post mortem.

I only registered recently, but I have seen it dwindle from a busy board to a handful of regulars too. But, if those who remain are happy with that, who are we to judge. That is sort of what dsm is saying. But, I strongly suspect the owner of VF would like it to be less cliquey and busier than it is.
i'm sure evs would love a busy board.... but forums are dying in general.... most ppl no longer post for the simple reason of expression.... they post for "likes" and "emojis" .... boards that don't offer these little dopamine fixes are rapidly losing support.... why spill your soul out in a post that maybe 15 ppl will see when you can write "Trump sucks" on reddit and get 5k "likes"? forums are an antiquated medium and we are in its last days.... VF is a very niche group and will remain that way until it no longer remains.... some ppl like it.... some ppl don't.... at least most of you had the opportunity to decide which category you belong in.... its not for everybody.... but everybody is equally welcome....

Do any Americans believe the Democrats when they feign support for the working class? I used to vote NDP, but like the Democrats they put blue collar workers in their sites. They are a party for upper class urban progressives only-just like the Democrats.
I liked that manipulation. The new left were quick to bail out their progressive elite donors.

I am a socialist, but how are tax write offs for investments corporate welfare? It's our money through our investments and pensions. Taxing them more means less money in our senior years and who wants to end up a penniless loser like Joe.
Corporate welfare is subsidizing companies directly. Wind and solar would not exist without corporate welfare. In Canada, the media is another westeland for corporate welfare. Big pharma too.

Quote from: koreaboo on December 11, 2023, 06:15:09 PMelon is making his living off government subsidies. i don't understand why you people support corporate welfare.
We dont, generally speaking. However, the government comes in and passes all these regulations taking money from corporations, then they offer "corporate welfare" in return which corporations have to take in order to stay competitive. Its a soft version of Nazi Fascism. Now the government controls the corporations and the people, incapable of realizing how the system works, hate the corporations and implore the government to make corporations "pay their fair share". Rinse, repeat. The truth is, corporate welfare doesnt exist. The government took the money they give out ITFP.

An electric car is a novelty. Seriously, its like a toy car. It's fun, you can program the turn signals to make fart noises when you use them, they're thrilling to stomp to the floor, but eventually, they get boring AF. They dont have any soul.
Maybe the worst part about them though is nobody considers the loss of power that goes into them, even if they run on green energy. If they get powered by fossil fuels, thats an EPIC waste. Better to burn gasoline in an ICE.
the delorian was another winner in the ill-fated stainless steel sweepstakes.
Both EVs and ICE's cause pollution, no matter which way you slice it. Calling one "green" because the pollution is happening somewhere other than the vehicle just doesn't cut it. And that's before we consider the exorbitant parts and service costs (to say nothing of the disposal of the waste) of the so-called "green" alternative.
But hey, if you get high off huffing your own farts, then go for it. Just don't bullshit the rest of us into saying your shit doesn't stink because *newsflash* some of us know it stinks to high heaven. Dribbling on about a one degree rise in global temperatues and pretending you're somehow having a positive effect towards negating it is a lie and one that (if you got your way with the mandates) will ultimately cost everyone... even you... your mobility when it is finally admitted to be the self same bastards who would ensure you spent 50K when it runs out of warranty anyway.
Verdict in favour of internal combustion. Next case please.

This is a Tesla model Y battery. It takes up all of the space under the passenger compartment of the car.
To manufacture it you need:
--12 tons of rock for Lithium (can also be
extracted from sea water)
-- 5 tons of cobalt minerals (Most cobalt is made as a byproduct of the processing of copper and nickel ores. It is the most difficult material to obtain for a battery and the most expensive.)
-- 3 tons nickel ore
-- 12 tons of copper ore
You must move 250 tons of soil to obtain:
-- 26.5 pounds of Lithium
-- 30 pounds of nickel
-- 48.5 pounds of manganese
-- 15 pounds of cobalt
To manufacture the battery also requires:
-- 441 pounds of aluminum, steel and/or plastic
-- 112 pounds of graphite
The Caterpillar 994A is used for the earthmoving to obtain the essential minerals. It consumes 264 gallons of diesel in 12 hours.
Finally you get a "zero emissions" car.
Presently, the bulk of the necessary minerals for manufacturing the batteries come from China or Africa. Much of the labor for getting the minerals in Africa is done by children! If we buy electric cars, it's China who profits most!
BTW, this 2021 Tesla Model Y OEM battery (the cheapest Tesla battery) is currently for sale on the Internet for $4,999 not including shipping or installation. The battery weighs 1,000 pounds (you can imagine the shipping cost). The cost of Tesla batteries is:
Model 3 -- $14,000 (Car MSRP $38,990)
Model Y -- $5,000–$5,500 (Car MSRP $47,740)
Model S -- $13,000–$20,000 (Car MSRP $74,990)
Model X -- $13,000 (Car MSRP $79,990)
It takes SEVEN years for an electric car to reach net-zero CO2. The life expectancy of the batteries is 10 years (average). Only in the last three years do you begin to reduce your carbon footprint. Then the batteries have to be replacement and you lose all the gains you made in those three years."

I remember in the mid eighties, the Japanese PM was Yasuhiro Nakasone. He was a war criminal. A commissioned officer in the Imperial Japanese Navy. He was stationed in Indonesia. He was the first naval officer to organize and force local gals into sexual slavery known as comfort women.
Also, as pm in the eighties, he made the comment that the US cannot compete with Japan because of large populations of Blacks and Hispanics. He was a character.

I've never dated them either but have mates divorced from them and I've worked with a couple of young Sheila professionals fresh out of Uni.
In my own experience, they were (those two) solely focused on position and reputation... but they were inexperienced as hell and wouldn't listen to practical experiences aka past mishaps that I witnessed in my tenure in a company which changed hands.
They (both engineering grads) were like "we need to do this/these things"...
...I was like, "it was tried. It almost killed twice. It's off the table."
And then they pulled up their "engineering" degrees... (mind you, they were 22 and 24 years old at the time, I was 28)...and told me in no uncertain terms that they were highly trained professionals and I was just a set of hands, therefore we would be be trying to cut 90-130 millimetre thick industrial mining rubber with a hand circular saw...
:crampe: :crampe: :crampe: :crampe: :crampe:
I didn't bother trading subtle insults back at that point. I just went to the owners and said "you ever seen a carpentry circular launch out of a cut at 70 kilometres per hour and nearly decapitate or halve a person?"
20 minutes later, those young Japanese cunts were so mad, they left.... they went home "sick"...
That's very anti Japanese culture.

Sorry to hear about your experience with those 2 twats, you've saved their lives but looks like they wanted face instead instead of feeling feel grateful that no one got seriously injured.
I have only hand saw a few about human height trees nor know much about much sawing, but when you mentioned the part they wanted to cut a big piece of rubber with a electric powered saw does kind of makes my ass a bit clenchy.
Look like they'll eventually have to learn the hard way. Sadly Japan's peer pressure or bullying problems will never go away thanks to those 2 dumbasses, which they're better off sweeping floors or making coffee.
